1. What are the potential costs to this lack or training? Why do you think the company
operated in this manner?
There are many possible costs to this lack of training. First of all, there's the cost of broker water
lines as well as the cost of phone lines. Secondly, there's the cost of resources and time
{required} to go into the hole and repair the utility lines. Thirdly, there's the cost of lack of
morale in the workers linked to repairing broker lines. Fourth, there's the cost of discontentment
in the operators themselves and the operator leaving the job. Lastly, there's the cost of having the
work done inefficiently. All these costs amount to a big problem when on the job site. The
workers feel beaten and feel like they must do double the work due to the one worker not doing
their job in an efficient way. This can lead to actually losing the excellent workers and keeping
the bad workers. In this instance it's not regarding a bad worker but instead a badly trained
worker. The organization must have taken the time to train the worker correctly particularly on
{this sort of} risky item of equipment.
The organization worked in this way since they thought that the tractor and the backhoe were
completely foolproof. Additionally, the organization thought that the operators might know the
career by learning from mistakes. This was clearly a wrong stance because the workers were
clearly making errors and the organization only cussed at him and continued his way. The truth
that the worker {required to} search for guidance was a significant issue. The company or
administrator must have been the person to contact him and to assist him when he required it.
The organization felt that the time saved not having the workers through training was the best
